⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore touts inside the arrivals hall offering unmetered rides; use the official taxi rank outside the terminal.
  • Always insist the taxi driver switches the meter on; a short ride to Meydan should be around 536 TRY before waiting, not a fixed inflated price.
  • Confirm card payment with the taxi driver before starting if you rely on card; many taxis expect cash.
  • Havas coaches leave after flight arrivals, not on a fixed timetable, so check havas.net and pay only on board or at official points.
